Constructs a Model Formula — constructFormula • scDesignPop

A helper function that specifies the formula for the marginal model.

Usage

constructFormula(
  model_formula,
  interact_colnames = NULL,
  snp_cov = NULL,
  force_formula = FALSE
)

model_formula: a string scalar to specify the model formula, including random effects (if any) but without SNP genotypes or SNP genotype interaction effects.
interact_colnames: a string scalar or vector for the variable names that have first-order interaction with SNP genotypes.
snp_cov: a string scalar or vector that specifies the SNP covariates used in the model.
force_formula: a logical scalar for whether to bypass model parsimony check. If force_formula = TRUE, interaction terms whose covariates are not main effects in the model would be permitted. Results in error if force_formula = FALSE and length(geno_interact_names) > 0.
